Chapter 7: Operator Interface
In normal use, the E-Stop button is used for three primary purposes:
l
You need to interrupt or stop the platform for some reason, to keep it from performing
its currently scheduled task (and don’t have access to MobilePlanner).
l
You are working near the platform and don’t want it to move.
l
You want to use the Brake Release button.
NOTE:
There is a two-second delay between the manual release of an E-Stop
and the transporter resuming its activity. During the two seconds, the transporter
scans its path for potential obstacles. It will resume commanded motion
provided there is adequate space to maneuver.
ON Button
The ON button is used for restoring power after the OFF button has been pressed, and the soft-
ware has finished shutting down the platform.
It can also be used to restore power after an E-Stop has been pressed.
OFF Button
The red OFF button removes power from all systems except the charging hardware circuits.
The platform's software systems prevent loss of data on shutdown, and save the AMR’s last
known location so it automatically localizes when it is next powered on.
NOTE:
The OFF button can be disabled by the keyswitch, which can be locked
and the key removed.
Brake-release (BRAKE) Button
The brake-release releases the brakes on the platform. It is used when you need to manually
move the AMR.
Battery power is required and an E-Stop must be pressed to release the brakes.
The BRAKE button must be held in to keep the brakes released.
Version Information:
The LD-130CT is difficult to move manually, even using
the brake release.
Keyswitch
The keyswitch can be used to disable the OFF button. The key can be removed in either the
locked or unlocked positions.
LATCH Button
The Operator can manually make the platform latch to the cart by pressing this button. The
platform must be in the correct position for latching with the cart for this to work. The button’s
light will be lit blue when this is enabled.
